These articles form the early part of Teilhard's career: written during his action in the first World War. These essays show his early thought before it would be more clearly expounded later on. In conjunction with his later writings, they present a good look at the development of Teilhard's thought. There is, however, in here a masterpiece entitled "The Eternal Feminine" which inspired Henri de Lubac to write a book by the same name. The rest of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin's books: 1....

This book is a collection of essays by Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, gathered by the editor for the purpose of presenting a panoramic view of Teilhard's thought. It is divided into three sections: 1. Phenomenology - Teilhard examines an evolution that is "convergent" by nature. This evolution which was a convergence of atoms, molecules and cells to create biological life, is now a convergence of "human molecules" as seen in globalization to form an "ultra-humanity."...

LETTERS TO TWO FRIENDS, by Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, constitutes seminal volumes for THE PERSPECTIVES IN HUMANISM SERIES. These letters, written by Father Teilhard to American friends, describe the author's daily life and the development of his thought. In this way a kind of "journal" has been created- a journal extending from 1926 to 1952, throughout almost all of Father Teilhard's life as a scientist and as a priest. The letters come from Peking, Paris, and Rome. They mark Father... Topics: teilhard de chardin, omega point, consciousness, conscious evolution, noosphere, noogenesis,...

This last volume in Pierre Teilhard's collected works contains two previously unavailable essays of key importance: "The Heart of Matter," a spiritual autobiography written in 1950, toward the end of his life, and "The Christic," written a month before he died, a profession of faith that develops further the views set forth in The Divine Milieu. Together they sum up his unique vision, at which he arrived by the separate yet converging roads of science and religion. These two...

In this book, Teilhard treats the subject of "Human Energy" which can also be called "Conscious Evolution." Evolution's self recognition in humanity has tremendous consequences for both the individualized person and the collective multiple. Teilhard treats the multi-faceted aspects of the personality in evolutionary development. He also treats again, in much richer vein, the rise of spirit (conscious energy) throughout evolutionary history and the moral conclusions to be...

This book is perhaps the work of Pierre Teilhard's that stands alone in that it contains almost no scientific treatises. It is mainly a poetic/spiritual testament to the world of spirit in matter. It envisions Christ as the heart of the universe, in the heart of matter. The rest of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin's books: 1.

Considered Pierre Teilhard de Chardinâs âMagnum Opus,â this book shows the convergence of the cosmos from simple elements to the complex nervous systems of human beings. Teilhard then argues that evolution has not stopped with the creation of human beings, but is now in the process of converging the human mass (like atoms and cells before them) into a higher complex arrangement, this time on a planetary scale. All along the way, this evolutionary process has revealed itself to be one that... Topics: teilhard de chardin, omega point, conscious evolution, noosphere, phenomenon of man, matter,...

The Divine Milieu is a spiritual treatise by scientist/priest Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. It is a treatise on how to live the Christian life in the modern world. He explains how both one's actions and passivities can be 'divinised' by recognizing that Christ lies at the heart of the world which has brought your being into existence, and which will bring it to fulfillment. One's being is not fulfilled in isolation, but in communion with God, the earth, and humanity. The rest of Pierre Teilhard...

In this book Teilhard expounds the evolutionary history of the earth, the arrival of the human species, and it's destiny in the far future. He identifies certain threads of recurrence in evolution's past, and using these laws of recurrence he projects the most probable future destiny of the earth. His ingenious conclusion is that evolution is in fact involuting on itself, meaning that the future (like the past) is one of convergence and synthesis, destined for eventually single unity in what he...

A great book by Teilhard de Chardin, containing 13 of his essays. Essay titles include: "The Evolution of Chastity," "Reflections on Happiness," and "The Spiritual Contribution of the Far East" amongst others. The essay "My Fundamental Vision" is perhaps Teilhard's greatest exposition of his thought, as it was in fact a defense he wrote to his Jesuit superiors clarifying his opinion in light of outcry against him. It is a masterpiece that today has still... Topics: teilhard de chardin, evolution, chastity, sexual energy, omega point, noosphere, conscious...
